All good advice, Jeff. On a county expedition for CQP several years
ago, N3ZZ fried the front end of his K3. W2VJN's excellent book is a
great reference.

And don't let the thought that "I'm only running 100W" be of any
consideration. That's +50 dBm and you want to be very much under +20
dBm to avoid damage - and less than that in some cases. I think W2VJN
recommends 0 dBm as the damage threshold target. That means you need
30-50 dB of isolation, on every band and directional combo - something
which takes time to check out. The isolation is easy to achieve with
natural coupling loss and a stub.
